Install/Config Problems

[Giridhar Manepalli]

Hello,
Just to keep this thread resourceful for later:
I compiled php without GD. I also used the regex from php sources.
Debugging that only helped me learn that, it went onto some infinite
loop, I specifically did not observe any library miss-calls!

Regards,
Giridhar
